University of Zurich Requests Nominations for 2012 Siegfried Medal The University of Zurich is accepting nominations for the 2012 Siegfried Medal Award in chemical methods which impact process chemistry. This distinguished award has been established at the University of Zurich by the Siegfried Company in Zofingen, Switzerland to recognize original research in chemical processes, carried out in academic and/or industrial laboratories, that influences the way process chemistry is conducted. The award is made biannually and consists of a gold medal, a bronze replica, and an honorarium of 10,000 CHF. This will be presented at the Siegfried Symposium scheduled for October 5th, 2012 at the METROPOL in Zurich. A full description of the Siegfried Symposium can be found at http:/www.oci.unizh.ch/diversa/siegfriedsymposium/index.shtml or www.siegfried.ch The general area of process chemistry drives much of the chemical industry but receives fewer than its share of highlights. The Siegfried company, in conjunction with the Organic Chemistry Institute of the University of Zurich and its Laboratory for Process Research (LPF), wish to recognize outstanding achievements in this essential branch of the chemical enterprise. Scientists who have made exceptional contributions to chemical methods or technologies with impact on the process chemistry of fine chemicals and APIs are eligible for consideration by the committee. Nomination packages should consist of a nominating letter identifying the contribution, explaining its importance and elaborating in detail its impact on process chemistry, a CV and list of publications by the nominee, a focused set of supporting documents to substantiate the significance of the work (e.g. seconding letter; 1–3 reprints or patents). Electronic submissions are requested in pdf format and should be submitted to Professor Jay S. Siegel
[email protected] by April 30th, 2012. Award announcements will take place in June 2012.
